		<description>scullboy I think you're just reading something into his insane rambling.  Remember you posted your name and facebook link here not too long ago, so its possible he's seen your picture without leaving the keyboard in his cave.

		<description>BDK:

If you flip up through "anon" posts here, krrsh implies 

1) he's seen me and the bf out running
2) He knows my hair colour is grey (though I would argue silver is a better description. :)
3) A few days ago he talked about going to my old apartment 

I can't figure out why he'd bother. I'm really not that interesting. 

I'll guess he works at Davie St. Out of curiousity, where's his mum's condo?&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-18210"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>gotta love this stalker who brought this puck out back to ice where miss fire fly shooting and striking a pose like madonna and singing.......
la-lala-la

Last night i dreamt of san pedro
Just like i'd never gone, i knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where i long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby la-lala-la la la
ho ho oh ho your spanish lullaby....&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-18209"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Hey Scullboy, when did it admit to stalking you? I missed it. 

It shows that it's even dumber than we give it credit for by posting under anonymous.

		<description>Wow "anon", if you think hiding behnd that name is fooling anyone you're wrong. 

So, it sounds like you really are stalking me. I can't figure out how else you'd know the colour of my hair. 

What's up with that? I mean, if you have several condos (as you implied) shouldn't you be... you know.. managing properties? 

Hey Pope, sorry for cluttering up your blog with this stuff but maybe your readers should know there's a stalker among them. 

Wow.... proof positive some of the bulls aren't that mentally stable.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-18206"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Krrish buddy,

Are you telling me you've been stalking me and the bf when we're out running? 

Wow dude, you don't wanna piss him off. He's a *very* strong guy. 

That kind of explains why he's been telling me some creepy guy has been following him around. Dude, best to back off for real. He'll rip your head right off your neck if he suspects you've been folling him around, and it kind of sounds like you are.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-18199"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Oh c'mon krrrrish

We all know the real reason you won't sell one of your properties... oh ad that's plural, is it?

It's 'cause your mom needs somewhere to give her clients those infamous "Shanghai extra-lucky double happy ending" massages she's so famous for. plus she'd have to pack up all her.... uh..... equipment. Let's face it, the ol' girl is getting on in years. Hauling that swinging bamboo chair and all those bottle of .... uh... "lotion" around can't be good for her back! 

I've heard it's all she ca do to take on two hundred clients a day, and how's the ol' girl supposed to pay the mortgage, what with her son being such a disappointment?

Hauling that swinging bamboo chair and all those bottle of &#8230;. uh&#8230; &#8220;lotion&#8221; around can&#8217;t be good for her back! </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve heard it&#8217;s all she ca do to take on two hundred clients a day, and how&#8217;s the ol&#8217; girl supposed to pay the mortgage, what with her son being such a disappointment?</p>
<p>Hey did you figure out where I&#8217;m living these days? Don&#8217;t worry buddy, you&#8217;re not the first guy to find me irresistible.

		<description>That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Mortgage insurance is &lt;b&gt;only&lt;/b&gt; for borrowers who have less than 20% down. If you have 20% or more you don't need it in the first place.

And looking at the whole article, it's yet another attempt to blame the US crash on subprime lending. That's not the cause of the crash. The cause of the crash is that &lt;b&gt;prices got too damn high relative to rents and incomes&lt;/b&gt;. It's that simple. Subprime lending was of course one of the factors leading to inflated prices - but it's the level of prices that matter, not how they got there.

And let's point out, again, that Calgary and Edmonton have fallen faster from the peak than any US city except Miami. Explain that one.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-18171"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Why Canada hasn’t gotten hit by the subprime mortgage bug:

Anyone who puts less than 20% down on the home can't qualify for mortgage insurance by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp&lt;/i&gt;

Oh really. Someone tell the webmaster at CMHC:

Do you have a thirty year fixed mortgage SATV? Oh, you don't? Well interest rates are at a historical low, so no chance they'll ever be increased in the future right?

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Flaherty should follow up by brining in 100 year mortgages, to give the market another “boost” into the Olympics.&lt;/i&gt;

They've already gone farther than that - they insure interest-only mortgages, which are infinite amortization:
